Ingredients

• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup black beans, canned, rinsed and drained
• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 whole lime
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
• 1 whole avocado, diced
• 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon chipotle chili in adobo sauce
• 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes or until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Step 2

While the rice cooks, prepare the chicken. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over the chicken breasts.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

Step 4

In a small blender or food processor, blend together the chipotle chili, Greek yogurt, juice of half a lime, and a pinch of salt to make the chipotle dressing. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chipotle chili.

Step 5

In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked rice, black beans, grilled chicken slices, cherry tomatoes, corn, and diced avocado.

Step 6

Drizzle the chipotle dressing over the bowl and garnish with cilantro and lime wedges from the remaining half of the lime.

Step 7

Serve immediately, allowing each person to mix their bowl before enjoying.
